CCA’s submission focused on the need for the Prime Minister’s Business and Community Partnership (CBP) to be much more than a talk fest and become a vehicle to enhance relations between not-for-profit entities, their communities, government and businesses.

CCA has made a submission calling for the purpose of the new definition of charity to be outlined as objects of the proposed legislation.

This submission briefly outlines some of the key issues for Australia’s not-for-profit sector in response to the release by Treasury of the ‘Exposure Draft Charities Bill 2013’, a bill seeking to establish a statutory definition of charity.

This submission briefly outlines the Community Council for Australia (CCA) response to the COAG Regulatory Impact Assessment of potential duplication of governance and reporting standards for charities (RIA) consultation paper.

The CCA Board and members believe the issue of duplication in regulatory requirements for charities and more broadly for the not-for-profit (NFP) sector is a critical issue.
